Re: DCS-P30 error E:61:20

John Posted Jul 13, 2008, in response to:Robert Amirault

I have a sony cybershot DSC-S40, and I made several mistakes leading to this problem. First mistake was lending it to someone who dropped it, then lending it to him AGAIN, and he dropped it again. The second mistake was taking it with me to the beach and not protecting it from the sand, and then keeping it in my duffle bag for months, which had sand all over it. It gradually opened more and more laboriously until it finally stopped working. Then I opened it up, cleaned as much sand as I could see out of the inside and the lens gears, and it worked great, although it gave the E:61:20 error. Then it stopped working again, so I figured I had damaged the circuitry the first time I took it apart. I did, however, decide to take the time to open it again, where I noticed the shutter seemed jammed. So I opened up the shudder mechanism and spun the gears around a bit, then closed it (leaving behind some sand I'll clean out another time), so now it works, but it still gives me the error. But hey, small price to pay to get my camera back!
